Pharma SEZs Transforming Ranga Reddy's Real Estate Scene
The rise of pharmaceutical special economic zones (SEZs) in Ranga Reddy district has reshaped Telangana’s real estate sector. Hyderabad Pharma City – a key project near Mucherla village – showcases this transformation, merging industrial scale with urban planning innovations. This integrated development model is creating new demand patterns and changing regional infrastructure priorities.
